Description
Tonka beans from Venezuela are an extraordinary ingredient prized by pastry chefs and adventurous cooks alike. Each small, wrinkled bean holds a wealth of aroma — warm vanilla, sweet almond, and a whisper of spice reminiscent of clove and cinnamon. When grated, the flavour releases slowly, deepening with every bite.
Traditionally used in fine desserts, tonka beans lend their magic to custards, ice creams, chocolate, and pastries. Just a small amount transforms cream sauces, rum-based cocktails, or even savoury dishes such as duck or venison. Their natural richness brings depth and sophistication to recipes that call for vanilla or nutmeg, yet with a character entirely their own.
Used sparingly, tonka beans add a sense of intrigue — a fragrant note that lingers and elevates both sweet and savoury creations. These Venezuelan beans are a wonderful addition for those who love experimenting with flavour and aroma in their cooking.
